IN MEMORIAM

 

Rainbow Bridge 

​

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. 
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of all its beautiful colors. 
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, 
hills and valleys with lush green grass. 
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. 
There is always food and water and warm spring weather. 

The old and frail animals are young again. 
Those who were sick, hurt or in pain are made whole again,
just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing;
they are not with their special person who loved them so much on earth. 

​

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
The nose twitches! The ears are up! His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.

The happy kisses rain upon your face;
your hands again caress the beloved head,
and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet,
so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

​

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together never again to be apart.
